The rest is just noise

Chapter 719 Lao Tzu is the greatest basketball player in Indiana

"If you choose this path, you must go to the end!"

Chris Ford roared loudly.

Going head-to-head with the Knicks is not what he wants, it is the players' own decision.

Now, the Knicks have proven that they can withstand the confrontation brought by the Celtics before, and use an almost impossible defensive strategy to cause huge trouble to the Green and Celtics Big Three.

"We can do it!" Bird yelled, "Just fight like this!"

"Yes, there is no threat from their flanking attack!" Thomas loudly encouraged his teammates.

Something unexpected happened on the Knicks side. Bowie told Louis that his foot was a little uncomfortable.

"How long has this been going on?" Louis asked with concern.

"Just now, when I was grabbing a rebound, I couldn't stand firmly when I landed..." Bowie said uncertainly, "I seemed to have held on for a while."

"I can stick with it if the team needs it."

"The team needs it, but I won't let you take risks just for a game." Louis said softly, "Just rest."

Louis looked back at the players off the court and found that there were not many people who could replace Bowie.

Now that the Knicks are leading by 12 points, there may be no need to be so nervous.

At this time, Louis' eyes locked on the person who had been avoiding his eyes.

"Pinxiao," Louis asked with a smile, "Do you want to go up and fight for a few minutes?"

At that moment, it was as if someone pressed the pause button on the time of this world.

Kemp's world stopped spinning as Louis' words echoed in his mind.

Do you want to go up and fight for a few minutes?

Think about it! Who doesn’t want to? People of Kemp’s generation have grown up listening to stories about Bird and the Celtics. As the greatest basketball player ever produced in Indiana, Kemp has grown up hearing stories about Bird and the Celtics.

as goal.

How could he not want to compete with Bird in the playoffs? But could he?

He is a rookie, a young kid, appearing on such an occasion?

Does the coach think too highly of him?

"Louis, are you kidding me?" Willis Reed instantly forgot who the head coach was.

"Willis, I'm not asking you." Louis looked at Kemp, "Pin Xiao, do you want to go up and fight for a few minutes?"

Kemp was struggling. He wanted to play, but he was afraid of letting Louis down. At the same time, he was afraid of Reed. If he didn't play well, he might not have a good time in the next few days.

Rodman saw that he was not acting like a man, so he slapped him on the head unhappily: "You are so hesitant about your mother! If you want to fight, just talk, if you don't dare, no one will laugh at you!"

Kemp looked at Reid carefully: "I will try my best."

"At your level, your full strength is not enough!" Reed roared like a demon, "If you get there, you will risk your life for me!"

"Yes, private!"

Louis often makes moves that are incomprehensible to people, some of which are to humiliate his opponents, some of which are just for fun, and some of which have deeper intentions.

"Willis, you taught Sean well."

"what I should do."

"No, it's beyond my imagination. One year of training under you is more valuable than four years of college."

Just as Reid was about to float up, Louis' voice changed: "But I hope you remember that no one on this team can say the word 'fuck' to me."

Reed felt like he was being targeted: "I know, I'm sorry."

Camp's strengths are as glaring as its weaknesses.

He is extremely talented and can surprise people every time. The casual attitude he developed in high school was also changed under Reid's training and the Knicks' terrible involution.

With Reid's special training, Louis doesn't worry that he will develop bad habits.

After one season of training, many of his problems have been corrected, and the rest is the direction of his technical development.

In Louis' memory, Kemp in another timeline, the Kemp he knew, reached his peak in 1996. Under normal conditions, his help defense was like Anthony Davis, with a hand in the post-up situation.

Siakam's destructive turning skills to attack the basket, and unlike Sikka, he can turn both hands. At the same time, his mid-range shooting has also been developed to the point of proficiency. He can hit anywhere within the three-point line.

He shoots with a very high hit rate. Moreover, he also masters many throwing hook skills under the basket.

There is always a difference between fixed impressions and facts. After one year of contact, what is the blueprint Louis has prepared for Camp?

Taking Wilson as an example, Benj is Durant without the ball, and Tracy McGrady with the ball. Although he has not yet reached this level, he is already 70% to 80% capable.

Kemp is a perfect power forward prospect, and Louis also has very ambitious career plans for him.

He hopes that Kemp's ultimate form will be a power forward who can attack like Towns and defend like thick eyebrows.

Kemp's defense has already taken shape. On the offensive end, compared to Towns, he lacks the top ball-handling ability at the same position, but has a historically powerful body. As for the shooting touch, Towns is better, but Kemp's touch is also inferior.

Considered excellent.

In order for Kemp to progress in the direction he designed for him, he must be given enough opportunities to experiment.

Make him have the desire to compete.

Reid tempered his temper. It's time for Bird, the bastard, to treat Kemp the same way he treated Wilson.

Louis also discovered not long ago that Bird, a bastard, could actually have such an effect with his foul mouth.

After Kemp came on the court, he often had to switch to guard Bird.

In the previous games with the Celtics, Kemp could only play in garbage time or be DNP. Even if he graduated with six fouls at the speed of light, he had no chance to play against the rampant Bird, let alone the taste of a bird's mouth.

After taking the field, Kemp reflected on the pain of the regular season.

Rodman's double-team was a little late, and Bird swung him away and scored.

"How could there be a pig like you in Indiana who only has a body and no brain?"

Kemp was furious and ran to the frontcourt to ambush the right side.

He tried to make a cut, and his teammates also supported him in responding to the ball.

Kemp caught the ball, and Bird's help came up. If Kemp was in a normal state, he might pass the ball. Now, in his rage, he has forgotten his teammates and regards Bird as his enemy.

Kemp exaggeratedly held the ball at a reverse angle and turned around to pass Bird. If anyone else had done this, his body's strength would have been exhausted. At most, he would have ended up with a dangerous rebound at the basket, but he still had residual energy in his body.

The power has not been exerted.

I saw him explode as if explosives were placed under his feet.

That is a power that people like Bird will never be able to understand.

In the blink of an eye, Kemp reached the top, took the ball with both hands, and hit the basket vigorously.

After landing, a furious Kemp said to Bird: "What are you arrogant about? You are not even the greatest player in the history of Indiana!"

"What did you say?" Bird asked angrily.

"He's right, country boy." Louis fanned the flames. "The greatest basketball player Indiana has ever produced is not you, but Oscar Robertson. Why do you compare to Big O, who averaged a triple-double per game?

Can you?"

Today is the day Russell Westbrook's historic status skyrockets.

Oh, Westbrook is only 2 years old this year, so that’s okay.

"I'll score the ball in front of you later, you brainless brat!"

Byrd prophesied loudly and crudely.

Under Williams' defense, Bird used Jim Peterson's screen to enter the basket from the high post and meet Kemp outside the left paint area.

Unexpectedly, he actually wanted to attack from the low position.

Kemp prided himself on his strength, but there seemed to be countless obstacles in pushing Bird away from him.

His power was eventually suppressed by Bird.

Bird picked up the ball in the low post, and Ewing's help defense had just been in place when he saw the former's elbow touching Kemp's chest, and he actually put the ball into the basket by leaning on someone.

Kemp's unnecessary movements on his hands even caused the referee to blow the body hair whistle.

Bird roared angrily: "That's it? Is your defense just for fun?"

Bird is using a more intense method than Louis imagined to stimulate Kemp.

You can see Kemp's respect for Bird slowly disappearing.

"What a fucking coward!" Reed couldn't stand it anymore, "Lu, that kid is no match for Larry now!"

Louis smiled and asked, "You don't think I'm expecting him to beat up Larry, do you?"

"Then why did you replace him?"

"In addition to the right guidance and training, Sean also needs a goal." Louis said happily, "What better goal than to avoid the contempt of the greatest NBA player of all time? Not to mention that this person is from the same family as him.

In the same state, he used to admire this guy."

At the free throw line, Bird held the ball and glared at Kemp: "I will still look for you next round. You are a fucking man, so don't hide."

"Whoa!"

Bird added a free throw and said arrogantly: "I am the greatest basketball player in Indiana!"

The longer the game goes on, the more Kemp's flaws are exposed.

His confrontation and experience, his offensive methods, his defensive details, and the referee's zero tolerance for him.

When he came off the court, everyone discovered that the dunk he made when he turned around and passed Bird and pulled an onion under the basket was his only highlight moment tonight.

He was humiliated by Bird for five full minutes, committed four fouls, and was used as a breakthrough by the Celtics. As a result, the Knicks' 12-point lead was reduced to only 3 points in the 5 minutes he played.

MSG fans breathed a sigh of relief when Kemp was substituted.

They like Kemp, but Kemp clearly doesn't belong at this level.

"Coach, don't let me do it again"

Kemp lost all confidence.

"Sean Kemp, I give you ten seconds to take that back."

Louis said sternly.

Kemp looked at Louis with fear, "Coach, I mean"

"I know what you've been through and I know why you feel the way you do, and I understand, but after tonight, you turn pain into strength, and that's your goal, and he's not just the best player to ever play in the state of Indiana.

A basketball player is still the greatest player in the history of the NBA. You should use him as a goal to strengthen yourself."

The game has already started, but Louis and Kemp seem to be chatting in the coffee shop.

"I thought I could at least put up a show in front of him but I was wrong. I was no match for him. I may never be half as good as him. He made me sick. Basketball wasn't that interesting.

Exercise is painful”

"now it's right."

Kemp was stunned by Louis' words.

He didn't know, why was this right? If playing basketball couldn't make him happy, he wouldn't have played basketball in the first place.

"No matter what you want to do, as long as it is something you love, it starts with happiness, then encounters pain, and ultimately you cannot get rid of it. The true meaning of the world is that happiness and pain coexist. If you want to get close to Larry,

You have to get used to this feeling.”

"You have to understand that happy and painful games and training will make you better. You have to cherish this experience and make full use of it. In that case, when you reach another level, you will find that Larry led you today

Everything given to you is so precious." Louis said, "Of course, in your eyes, Larry may be a shitty bastard. I agree with you, but shit also has shit value, what do you think?"

Kemp returned to the court and took a moment to adjust his emotions.

Then, he put on his playing uniform and cheered for his teammates with all his strength as if the previous five minutes didn't exist.

He may not be able to understand Louis' intentions, but fortunately, he is a simple man, and he has already let go of having Bird ride on his face and shit on him for five minutes.
